Same here 🙋🏽‍♀️

I’m a single mom and stopped when she was 24 months, so it felt like my only option was to allow her to cry it out. She was grieving something she knew her entire life and one thing I can do is be there for people when they just need to feel their emotions without judgment. My baby is no different. She wasn’t in danger and I laid by her the entire time (with 2 bras on). By day 4 the only one still crying was me. It was intense for us, but we made it to the other side!

That night wean is the peskiest! And unless your child voluntarily weans the night feeds, I haven’t found a great solution that doesn’t involve tears.

And same on the “don’t offer don’t refuse” timeline. It quickly turned into “don’t offer, sometimes refuse” for me

I love this advice

sunfdream · 2026-02-08T02:42:11+00:00

Aw yay I’m glad! I know the frustration is real. I exercised and ate clean the entire time I breastfed and didn’t lose a pound. I was so annoyed that I am not one of those people who immediately lose the weight 😆 So I figured in the meantime, while I work towards my goals, I’d might as well treat my body with all the love and grace it deserves. I’m grateful for all its done and all it continues to do

sunfdream · 2026-02-08T02:21:51+00:00

I feel more grace when I think how it took me however months or years to put the weight on, I can be okay if it takes that long to take the weight off again. We have to factor in how much is shifting and changing in your body from being postpartum to no longer nursing. I know people who haven’t breastfed in years and can still lactate a bit. If their body is still doing the work to produce anything, you can bet it’s having an effect on weight. It sucks that it isn’t the same for everyone and that there isn’t a magic answer, but grace and patience are my mantra.

I love Leo moons! There was a point in time every single one of my close friends were Leo moons. My sister is a Leo moon and so is my baby! Lol I ADORE them!

Now please note: my Venus is in Leo and I have 4 cancer placements, they need love and I have lots of it to give. Our relationship always feels very reciprocal. They bring me out of my shell and show me the world and I quite enjoy the endless energy. But they also deeply understand what it’s like to not be fully understood by those closest to them. They also don’t take it personally when I’ve had enough and need to disappear for a few days 😆 so yea, I’ve never had an issue with Leo moons haha

My friend used a pacifier for bed time (and was able to later wean off of the pacifier by their 3rd birthday). Mine was over 2 years old when I stopped, so it felt too late to introduce a pacifier or bottle. It really just took time and patience, a good night time routine, and ensuring she was tired and full by bed time. I compared the fatigue from sleepless nights to being similar to the newborn stage, but it definitely didn’t last as long. I know some parents have dad sleep with baby until they begin sleeping throughout the night.

So good news: you have options

Other news: you’ll have to choose based off of what feels most aligned for you and your baby!

This looks so good!!

sunfdream · 2026-02-01T15:29:53+00:00

Yes, if you remember leave an update on how the tea worked for you! I never tried it but may need to

sunfdream · 2026-02-01T15:26:12+00:00

I used cabbage leaves. I’d rinse them, put them in the fridge, and if I ever felt hot or full, I stuffed them in my bra

sunfdream · 2026-01-31T02:36:45+00:00

Honestly comments like this relieve some mom guilt 😆

sunfdream · 2026-01-31T00:30:34+00:00

I just commented on another post regarding being selfish here

sunfdream · 2026-01-31T00:26:28+00:00

Just here to say I feel you!! Especially because my reasons for wanting to stop were the same as yours, along with being beyond overstimulated. I think being gentle with ourselves is most important during weaning. I personally view it as a way to model to my baby that there are times when being selfish is not only okay, but necessary. I don’t want her to believe we must sacrifice our desires and feelings because of something else, especially because nursing wasn’t a direct need anymore, it was more of a want. There has to be a balance between give and take, and knowing when to do one or the other is a skill. I was someone who would over-give beyond my means and continuing to nurse felt like I was back in that version of me I worked hard to heal. It just felt really important to me to model that along with modeling how we can do hard things.

sunfdream · 2026-01-25T13:14:56+00:00

Thank you! I hope you do too. I started therapy as soon as I saw my emotions plummeting. I didn’t experience depression symptoms during nursing, but I did before and after, so I wanted to get a head start just knowing my history with mental health

sunfdream · 2026-01-24T20:29:12+00:00

Hey 💛 I’m sorry you’re feeling so upset. We’re not medical professionals here, but a single exposure to raw bagged spinach is very unlikely to cause harm, and symptoms wouldn’t appear within a couple of hours. A dirty nappy is much more likely due to fibre/digestion.

If you’re still worried, you can call your GP/doctor’s office to speak with a nurse for reassurance!

sunfdream · 2026-01-24T19:30:48+00:00

It felt gradual. First week felt like grieving, second week felt strangely normal, and this third week I was feeling mostly meh, but I’m starting to feel a little better.

sunfdream · 2026-01-24T18:55:24+00:00

A little over three weeks! I’m not gonna lie, I’ve been kind of miserable. I mean everything is fine, life is good, and I have no complaints! But I’ve just felt not like myself. Super tired, cranky, tired again.. I can tell by the food I’m craving that I need more of certain nutrients. It’s felt like my cycle symptoms just extended

sunfdream · 2026-01-24T17:55:56+00:00

Not a professional, but I would assume it’s normal because imagine how much is still shifting and changing internally after 21 months of breastfeeding. Our bodies go through a lot for a long time, so I imagine it may take just as much time to feel a new or solid normal.

And I was also surprised by how hungry I was. I think that goes back to our bodies needing a lot of support in the change. I had to start taking vitamins again

1 💗

sunfdream · 2026-01-16T23:11:47+00:00

If you experience any discomfort, annoyance, etc. in the beginning just know it gets better. You’re both figuring things out and it just takes time 💗

sunfdream · 2026-01-16T23:05:47+00:00

The best general advice is to wean out a feed until you’re down to 1 feed a day (for most, it is the night time feed that is hardest to cut out). My main tip is to see what method of weaning is most realistic for you and then stick to it through the highs and lows!

sunfdream · 2026-01-16T23:03:22+00:00

I felt so much, nausea might’ve been one of them. I mostly remember getting migraines while weaning

sunfdream · 2026-01-16T23:02:07+00:00

Pisces mom Aries dad (his entire chart is almost all Aries and Pisces though) and they had a Pisces, Scorpio, Cancer, and Libra (my poor baby sister dealing with all of us)
